Colter Wall - Cowpoke (Audio)

For a song to be able to tell a story and to make you feel like you’re in big sky country, by just closing your eyes… Now that’s music.

“I’ll go back to beeaannssss”🙏

The steel guitar in this song is pure magic

I love this. I'm 73 and retired. But I now want to be a cowpoke....!!!!!!!!

“Face me to the west, so I can watch the setting sun and remember all the fine times we had that way.” - Arthur Morgan aka Cowpoke

This song makes you want to work on a ranch for 16 hours a day and spend the rare days you get a few extra hours of free time drinking whiskey and playing an old Martin acoustic while singing songs about the woman who slipped away from you or the man you shot down 15 years ago.

I'm lonesome, but happy Rich, but I'm broke And the good Lord knows the reason I'm just a cowpoke From Cheyenne to Douglas The ranges I know 'Cause I drift with the wind No one cares where I go I ain't got a dime In these ol' worn out jeans So I'll stop eating steak And I'll go back to beans I'll pick up a ten spot In Prescott, I know Ridin' the broncs In the big rodeo Some evening in springtime A filly I'll find And I might spend all summer With her on my mind But I'll never be branded And never be broke I'm a carefree, range-riding Drifting cowpoke

My favorite teacher passed away due to suicide back in November. He was an amazing man who lived an amazing life. He was a geologist who traveled the world, he listened to whales, owned his own construction business, but at the end of the day decided to be a science teacher and changed so many kids life’s with his contagious smile and laughter. He’d tell stories and bust jokes. He’d listen to me when I needed someone to talk to and was always there when nobody else was. He gave the best hugs and was the light of the entire school. He’d listen to colter wall in class and this song hits me to my core… RIP David McKim 11-8-23 we miss you so much

I first came across Colter because of this song, and it's still as good as the first time I heard it.

This song hits you right in the soul .

“He’s dying dutch”

Makes me wanna play red dead

Ahh my favorite song by my favorite musician. This song resonates with me maybe a little too much… That steel guitar solo is legendary!

As a Ranch Hand, this song speaks to me on a whole new level.

I could sit on the bluffs of Wisconsin, looking at the Mississippi river barges and drinking a brandy old fashioned sweet! And thinking of my late husband who was taken away by cancer! 😢

How could you not smile

Many a liver shall be sacrificed to this song

Listening to this while sitting up against a hay bale and the hat shading you from the evening sun is almost miraculous.

Damn this gives me chills

One of my favorite country songs.
